Aortic Injury during Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aortic injury during transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a rare but severe complication. We experienced aortic injury during TLIF at L3-4 with a 59-year-old woman diagnosed with an adjacent segment disease at L3-4. Severe bleeding occurred during disc space expansion, and the blood pressure dropped to 60/40 mmHg. The patient's vital sign stabilized after compression with gauze and Gelfoam in addition to blood transfusion. The patient was treated with endovascular repair using a percutaneous technique after intertransverse fusion at L3-4 was completed. She recovered and is being followed-up in the outpatient department.

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy between transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) in treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis. A total of 62 patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis were treated at our hospital from 2010 to 2013.

We report 2 cases of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for failed Graf ligamentoplasty. Both patients had residual or recurrent low back pain and leg pain after Graf ligamentoplasty, caused by lumbar segmental instability or narrowing of their intervertebral foramens. The pain improved markedly after the revision surgery. We recommend transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for failed Graf ...
متن کاملA prospective, cohort study comparing translaminar screw fixation with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and pedicle screw fixation for fusion of the degenerative lumbar spine.
In a prospective observational study we compared the two-year outcome of lumbar fusion by a simple technique using translaminar screws (n = 57) with a more extensive method using transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and pedicular screw fixation (n = 63) in consecutive patients with degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Outcome was assessed using the validated multidimensional Core Outcome...
